Pacquiao vs. Bradley II: Early picks

Here are the early pick from boxing personalities for the upcoming rematch between Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao and American undefeated champion Timothy Bradley on April 12.

Brandon Rios

“I thought the first time Pacquiao won,”. It was controversial. I think Pacquiao, I think he might be more aggressive; might go for a knockout this time. Because everybody thought he was going to knock him out the first time. I think it’s going to be probably a knockout. If not, probably a split-decision Pacquiao.”

Miguel Cotto

“I think Pacquiao is going to capitalize on all the mistakes he (Bradley) makes in this fight,” Cotto told Hustle Boss. “I’m going with Pacquiao for the fight.”

Ruslan Provodnikov

“I think that if Pacquiao will not be aggressive, then we will see the same exact thing that we saw in their first fight. That being said, Pacquiao has a slight advantage to win. On the other hand, if the fight remains close then Bradley has a good chance to win”

Juan Manuel Marquez

“In that fight the decision was different from what happened in the ring, an I think Bradley should change his strategy because it did not work. Pacquiao could fight the same, but is is Bradley who needs to make adjustments. If judges do what needs to be done, Pacquiao should win. If Bradley makes the adjustments, its going to be a very good fight.”
